More than music

During the 2026 Cyclo-cross World Championships, the venue will not only be dominated by sport, but also by an unforgettable party. With three large marquees filled with music, beats and energy, Hulst will be transformed into a festival full of cyclo-cross atmosphere for three days.

 

The line-up includes big names such as Omdat Het Kan, Average Rob, Outsiders, FeestDJRuud, Viktor, Bonzai All Stars, Pat B vs Dark E and many others. And that’s just the beginning: surprising total concepts such as the Kamping Kitsch Club, which will transform the marquee into an exuberant Kamping Kitsch Cross edition on Sunday, will complete the party.

 

Between races, and especially after them, there is always music, atmosphere and action. This is Hulst as a cyclo-cross festival: energy, beats, party and sport brought together in one place. Come and watch, dance along and experience the 2026 Cyclo-cross World Championships like never before!

You can find the full line-up below.

More than entertainment

Hard at Heart Charity Cross

On Saturday, the World Championship grounds will be filled with warmth, energy and emotion during the Hard at Heart Charity Cross. This event is not just about speed, but above all about stories, meaning and creating something beautiful together.

 

And all for a good cause. Famous faces will team up with a “hero” – someone with a personal story, drive or mission – to compete against each other in a unique, heart-warming race. Expect surprising pairings, spontaneous moments, lots of humour and genuine competitiveness. On the course, we will see Leo Alkemade, Hugo de Jonge, Bavo Mortier, Erik Van Looy, Kurkdroog, MC Drummer, Anna Drijver, Benja Bruijning and Filemon in action, each with their hero, each with their own reason for being here. It will be fun, cheering, laughter… In short, an absolute mood maker during the World Cup weekend that you won’t want to miss.

 

In addition, all the duos are not only riding for the experience, but also for meaningful causes that are close to their hearts. Among others, KiKa, Duchenne Heroes, Klimmen tegen MS, Stop Schelden met KK, SchildklierNL, Simavi WaterAid, UNHCR and Digibende are being supported. This makes every lap, every effort and every finish line more than just sport.
